Papa John's adds meats mix to pan pizza platform

LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Seeking to further the success of its Papa's Perfect Pan offering, Papa John's has introduced a Papa's Perfect Pan Meats pizza.

According to a news release, the pizza includes the chain's "robusto" sauce and a blend of pepperoni, sausage, ham and bacon, and sells for $12.99. The offer is valid through March 26.
